China is closely observing US diplomatic activities aimed at halting Russia's war in Ukraine. Following a meeting between US President Trump and President Putin, notable concessions were mentioned, including security guarantees for Ukraine. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy embraced these guarantees, highlighting the significance of the talks. China, a key ally of Russia, encouraged swift peace negotiations. Observers noted that this summit provided Beijing with insight into US negotiating tactics, as Trump seemed to shift the focus from a ceasefire to encouraging Ukraine to consider territorial concessions as part of a peace deal with Russia.
"China welcomes all efforts to find a peaceful solution to the crisis and the contacts between the US and Russia," said Chinese government spokesperson Mao Ning.
Despite the US pledge of security guarantees for Ukraine, Trump, following talks with Putin, appeared to shift his position from pressuring Russia for a ceasefire to urging Ukraine to accept a final peace deal involving territorial concessions.
